No matter if this chimpanzee was treated badly on the set. The real point here should be about them being used at all.. whether humanely or not. The part about the fear grimace is completely true. These animals are our closest relatives in evolutionary history. It is not ok for a human child to be stolen away from its mother to be trained to do trick and make people laugh and it should not be ok for great apes. These animals are usually "kids" because when they are adults they could rip someone's face off. Chimpanzees and other great apes live with their mothers for 5-9 years old (sometimes more) and should not be used to entertain us. No matter if they are treated like kings.. they should not be there, but in the wild where they belong. Or at least in a sanctuary where they can almost be normal. They have feelings and emotions and are intelligent and this is just awful to do to them!
